- The monograph reflects a sustained research effort involving the collection and analysis of a large body of material across three civilizations. In chapters on Hinduism/Buddhism and Latin Christianity, the author has used primary sources in Sanskrit and Latin; for China he relies on the scholarship of others. The book presents a sustained argument drawing on historical, textual material and examining the idea of life itself in a selective history of philosophy. Further it relates this to contemporary understandings of life itself in evolutionary science. It investigates the philosophy of life in considerable depth across various different contexts.
